(Q) Music Player - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey People,
I have put a few albums on my phone, but when I go into the music player and select albums, its showing the albums twice.
Eg, Dr Dre Album, this option has a few songs, and the 2nd option of Dr Dre shows the rest of the songs.
I'm not good at explaining, please see the thumbnail below.....
I know that the files have the same respective album name.....
Does anybody know how to sort this?
Sorry for confusing you guys, and thanks in advance for your replies

I get the same but only on the stock Samsung music player, only a couple are as you mentioned but in my case the first track is listed as album then right underneath it is same album with rest of the tracks.
Poweramp doesn't do that, I thought it might have been a ID3 tag issue.

Can't see your screenshot, but have you checked that the 'Album Artist' fields are the same for each song?
For example, you may have the Dr Dre but one of your songs might have the 'Artist' as Dr Dre ft Eminem - you would need the 'Album Artist' to say Dr Dre for them all to show as the same album.

I get this on the stock player and also on "musixmatch"
The weird thing is, all the albums are showing properly on my Defy

The best way to fix it is delete the album from your device, open the folder on your computer, select all songs, right click on them, select properties and make sure everything is the same. Happend to me a few times when album artist was different for a couple of songs

Have checked all the tags (use mediamonkey on PC) & the tags are ok, only shows doubles in stock player, other music players display the albums correctly.
Did notice it appeared right after the first firmware upgrade if that any use.

Hey, I've had a look, all the details are the same part from the title and track numbers.....
When I transfer the albums to my Motorola Defy, it is showing the albums as they should

Has anybody got any ideas on how to sort this?

I've just realised.... I cannot use the voice commands on Poweramp :crying:
Surely someone must know a way of sorting the problem with the stock player(?)

go settings/ manage apps/media storage...clear data, reboot, that should do it

IMO PlayerPro is just as good, you just need to download the DSP Pack and then enable it in the app's settings...

After my sk17i update to stock 4.04,the music list of music player seems stop updating.It always shows the same music files even i have deleted it.What's worse,new music copied to sd card can't be updated too.

Especially ,after i cleared the data of media storage,i found the music player and gallery don't show any contents until 20 minutes later.Now i doubt if the system need to be reflashed!!!
Hope anyone can help me.

Open up settings, and then go to appplications. Then select all apps and then search the app claeed media. Force stop it and then clear its data.
Then reboot your phone.

gotta question..need some help

Ive noticed ever since i upgraded to ICS.. ALL my music has the same album art...ive downloaded apps that say they clean it up and find the correct ones but nothing has worked. I cannot find anything that works or to fix it...and its very annoying...please help!!
Ive also attached a few screen shots to show what i mean...all help is appreciated.
Wow, my phone does the same thing! Never noticed it before, mainly because I don't use the stock music player, but you could try rebooting into stock recovery and clearing cache, cache only- not data. That seems to fix alot of things for alot of ppl. I use poweramp, it works like a dream but you have to go through the settings and specify which folders to play from or it will play literally every piece of audio in your phone, including ringtones and game music, gets annoying sometimes to have to skip through so many things.

This app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tbig.playerpro&hl=pt_BR is the most complete, including the lockscreen widget and low in the covers of albums.
I recommend.

There's a 15 day trial (I think) then its $4.99 for full. IMO its totally worth it but I would say it depends on the person

[NEED HELP] Music will not sync into stock player/player pro

So here is my small problem
I copied alot of music to my internal storage, into sdcard/music when i first got my S3. Worked perfectly.
I was using the stock Music player for a while then it got on my nerves and i installed PlayerPro which works great.
Now a months later i got some new music and i copied it to my internal sd.
The only thing:
The music is not showing up in stock player and playerpro ,however it can show in poweramp trial version which i got from playstore. I can play the files from my file manager but in the actual music app it wont show up.
I rebooted, reinstalled music apps,removed avast mobile security, cleared cache on all involved apps, deleted the music and copied again, and manual copy...
And it cant be the music itself because it works when picked directly in file manager
Tried placing the music in various location in my internal sd. It still wont work either.

4. Voila , all song are synced into my player.

Ringtone Trimmer? There, but not there.

I've tried to search around for this but I can't seem to find it relating to the DNA. When scrolling through the system apps and files I came upon Ringtone Trimmer. After researching some I discovered it's usable on the OneX, bit no mention of it on the DNA forums. It's in there, butt my question is this: How do you access it and/or how can I find it to use it.
You get to it through the htc music app. There's a little sideways menu button, press that.

Ya what he says PLUS it has to be an MP3 not a M4A or any of that stuff. So if your using iTunes you'll have to convert it. Thats all..

So it's in the standard music app on the phone? Or is it a downloadable app from the store? I'm almost 100 percent sure that it's the stock music app. I have a midi project saved as music as an mp3 and I want to make a trimmed ringtone out of it. I do not see the option you guys are talking about. Maybe I'm just stupid or I have made the phone too lean in my debloat ingredients process. Maybe direct me towards a video or link or a screenshot might help but I don't see the option anywhere in that application.

Thanks for the screenshots. Apparently because I chose the more aosp (desense) look to my Viper DNA setup may be the reason it's not there. I have the standard music app but it looks nothing like the picture you have. Mine looks very similar (almost identical) to that of the 4shared music app. Perhaps I will try the sense version of the rom and see if that will help. I realize that this appears very easy to do but I simply don't have the app options you show in the screen shots.
Edit: I decided to reflash the Rom and sure enough the desensing tools had an option to remove HTC music and replace it with aosp and I had obviously selected that option. All is well and my ringtone from my midi project is now created. Thanks for all the help. The screenshot was the kicker bigandrewgold. Thanks.

[Q] 2 Questions about CM FXP???

Guys i have two questions about CM FXP (now using 206):
- First one - when i go to external card and click on some mp3 it cant be played... It says something like there is no source to be played. Why?
- Is there some app like "Extended battery mode" on stock ROM for CM so your phone to go in deep sleep and data to be off? App which really works???
Thanx
For me MP3s where working greatly. For example when I used CM9 I downloaded the Deuce and Hollywood Undead discography via BitTorrent app to my externel sd, and I could listen to it easily in apollo. Maybe your MP3s are corrupted. However, I can't play wma format music tracks.

They are not corrupted cause two of them i use as a ringtone and notification.
Is apollo supposed to be the player to play them in CM? (cause it says something like no player, like they cant detect player)
